"content": "I support the Motion because this is the only way we can save the girl-child. She is not safe at home because she goes out to look for firewood. She is burdened with domestic chores. On the way to school, she experiences problems. She is faced with the threat of rape. She could easily get pregnant. She is so vulnerable. In the school too she is not safe. She is afraid of the male students and teachers in the school. She is actually not safe. The only safe place, if we want to save this endangered species, is the boarding school. We say that if we educate a woman we educate the whole community. If you want something to be done give it to a woman and she will do it. If you want something to be said, tell men. They will talk about it. If we want our country to develop and mostly the ASAL areas then we need to empower women. We need to avail the facilities. As vulnerable as they are they have the power; it is only that they have been curtailed. They need to come out of that culture where they do not value the woman. Boarding schools are very important and they are needed in the ASAL areas so that the woman can also prevail. I stand to support."
